Abstract Protected areas, although often terrestrially focused and less frequently designed to protect freshwater resources, can be extremely important for conserving freshwater biodiversity and supporting human water security necessary for people to survive and thrive. This study measured the quant...

Intermittent microwave convective drying (IMCD) is an advanced technology that improves both energy efficiency and food quality in drying. Modelling of IMCD is essential to understand the physics of this advanced drying process and to optimize the microwave power level and intermittency during dryin...

A comprehensive multiphase porous media model was developed and validated for apple drying. Thermal, transport, and structural properties of apple required to develop such model were formulated and presented. The model considered the transport of liquid water by capillary diffusion and gas pressure,...

Over the past decade, large-scale camera networks have become increasingly prevalent in a wide range of applications, such as security and surveillance, disaster response, and environmental modeling. In many applications, bandwidth constraints, security concerns, and difficulty in storing and analyz...

Abstract Bio-food materials are heterogeneous in structure with cellular diversity, where the majority of the water is located in the intracellular spaces. Understanding of the nature of the microscopic behaviour of water transport is crucial to enhance the energy efficiency in food processing and o...

Intermittent microwave convective drying (IMCD) improves energy efficiency and the product quality during drying of agricultural products. However, the physical mechanism of heat and mass transfer involved in IMCD is poorly understood due to lack of a comprehensive and realistic mathematical model o...

Spontaneous adrenal hemorrhage is an acute hemorrhage of the adrenal gland that occurs in the absence of trauma or anticoagulant therapy. The incidence of this condition in pregnancy is unknown. We describe a patient with spontaneous unilateral adrenal hemorrhage that occurred during the third trime...

Stress-induced cell death, mainly apoptosis, and its subsequent tissue repair is interlinked although our knowledge of this connection is still very limited. An intriguing finding is apoptosis-induced proliferation (AiP), an evolutionary conserved mechanism employed by apoptotic cells to trigger com...

Older adults, especially men and/or those with diabetes, hypertension, and/or obesity, are prone to severe COVID-19. In some countries, older adults, particularly those residing in nursing homes, have been prioritized to receive COVID-19 vaccines due to high risk of death. In very rare instances, th...
